Scholarship / Contribute to homeland: Wesleyan University Freeman Asian Scholarship Essay!! [3]

please tell us how you would use your Wesleyan education to make a contribution to your home country.

What will I be after receiving 4 years of education in Wesleyan? And what can I do to contribute myself for my home country? Predicting exactly what I will do after 4 years from now is almost impossible; however, one thing that I am sure of is that I will be the influential leader who works in professional fields Korea as I finish my studies at Wesleyan University. The influential leader is a person who participates in the development of Korea in desirable and positive way. Then, is Wesleyan a perfect school to satisfy my goal as the influential leader in the future?

Unlike other colleges where they focus delivering narrow-minded teachings, Wesleyan provides liberal arts and sciences curriculum which covers various and rigorous academic programs. In a rapidly changing global society, a leader has to have open-mindedness as a part of one's character so that a leader could be flexible in responding to the crisis at any time. Comprehensive background knowledge and critical thinking, the valuable gifts that I will obtain in Wesleyan, will make provisions for the future difficulties, which helps to shape powerful leadership.

One major advantage of attending a small-sized University like Wesleyan is the various opportunities to frequently discuss and debate on social issues or academic researches during classes. As I participate in diverse discussions and group projects, I will learn how to interchange different views lively and smoothly. A number of conflicts that occur in today's society can be compromised by discussions and persuasions which I will experience numerous times in Wesleyan. Thus, to be the true leader who settles discords and conflicts, one has to have superior ability in two way communications.

In Wesleyan, I will be able to establish strong academic tie with renowned professors and participate in various research projects. Meeting passionate and dedicated faculties, which deepens profound knowledge, will form the basis of becoming the future professional and, therefore, bring benefit to the economic and social development of my homeland, Korea, after 4 years from now.

The significance of college education is in the contribution to the society. As I realize my possibility and potential and, thus, boost my confidence and self-respect as I receive Wesleyan education, the value of Wesleyan education is invaluable. Positive energy that I have will change the society in better way and influence significantly to others.

I hope to be a part of Wesleyan community so that I could be the leading pioneer in the development of my homeland.

Undergraduate / Describe an academic project : DNR orders- Notre Dame essay! [2]

Discovery may be the truest form of learning. Notre Dame is a place where your academic passions will be engaged and encouraged through undergraduate research. Describe an academic project that you have already pursued in high school, and tell us how this project inspires you to engage in further discovery.

I have always been preparing for my future in biology, especially in medical science. Since childhood, I have been more fascinated by dissecting frogs or chickens than polishing nails with five different colors or doing make up with my friends. During high school, while my friends were watching the last night's Gossip Girl episode, I was watching National Geographic about human body and diseases or probably reading the most recent online article about nanobacteria in Scientific American with great interest. Learning new facts about human bodies, diseases, and their respective medical treatments intrigues me greatly. I have always wanted to learn everything and anything that is related to human body and extend my knowledge in the field of medical science.

Recently, I had a chance to further my study in medical science by doing senior research on Do-Not-Resuscitate orders (DNRs). DNRs, Do-Not-Resuscitate orders, mean that, when the patient is in cardiac arrest, no CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) or electric shock will be performed to restart the heart. Since I was much more familiar with disease-related subjects than DNR orders, it was a great opportunity to learn new part of medical science.

To take a position whether DNRs are advantageous to patients or not, I searched statistical data which show the success rate of CPR and some testimonies from real DNR patients and medical doctors. At first, I thought DNR orders were similar to euthanasia, which could be an act of passive suicide for the patients. As I learned more about DNR orders, however, I found out that they are intended to prevent patients suffering pointlessly from the effects that resuscitation can cause. Furthermore, in contrast to what I believed on CPR which could save peoples' lives immediately when they lose conscious, CPR lacks the magical quality that people often associate with. CPR can and does work, but the success rate of CPR varies widely depending on the conditions of patients. Moreover, even though when patients survive by receiving CPR, patients are prone to suffer from bone fractures and punctured lungs which might leave patients in worse condition than before. Gathering all sources from online and libraries, I finally completed my senior research paper on the advantages of DNR orders.

While I was doing my senior research, I have learned numerous medical facts and terms. But the most important lesson that I learned as I was doing research was that medical science deals with peoples' lives and deaths in either direct or indirect way. Although one might think that a research on CPR or DNR might merely show statistical data or facts, those researches are fundamental steps for other medical researches which help patients to live longer than before and suffer less from diseases.

My senior research on DNR orders inspires me to expand my interest in medical field. Although death is unavoidable part of people's life, I would like to research on ways to elongate life expectancy and other medical treatments for terminally ill patients so that they will end their lives more comfortably. Furthermore, it would be a great experience to participate in projects on rare and neglected diseases, which Notre Dame's biological science department is currently researching. I would like to be a part of researcher in Notre Dame who supports innovative global health research projects to improve health in developing countries. If I have an opportunity to learn more about biology and do research in Notre Dame, I believe I am ready to reach my goal as a medical researcher and further my study in medical science.
